MIMETAS B.V.

Company Overview

Mimetas B.V. is a privately owned biotech company incorporated in 2013 and based in Leiden, Netherlands. In Leiden it performs most of its biological model development work, as well as development of novel hardware and assays. The manufacturing site, in Enschede, Netherlands, is where the company produces OrganoPlates. In Rockville, Md., the daughter company Mimetas Inc. is involved with selected R&D and business development activities inside the U.S.

Mimetas develops organ-on-a-chip models to specification in OrganoPlates and performs self-funded R&D on organ-on-a-chip models.

OrganoPlates are microfluidic 3D culture plates supporting up to 96 tissue models on a single plate. OrganoPlates contain Phaseguides, a proprietary, passive liquid handling technology for membrane-free definition of tissues in microfluidic chambers. OrganoPlates are based on the industry-standard 384-well plate for full compatibility with liquid handling and readout equipment. Within the plate, cells are contained in a gel, supporting 3D tissue configurations and cell-cell interactions. A continuous perfusion of media through the plate mimics blood flux and exchange of nutrients, oxygen and metabolites. The plates are versatile, supporting chemical gradients and coculture conditions. In this way, complex tissue models can be implemented in a straightforward way.
